New change introduced in this version:

Variable q Now Defined as the Forward Shift Operator z

The variable q is now defined in the standard way as the forward shift operator z. Previously, q was defined as z^-1.

Note   This new definition is consistent with the System Identification Toolbox™ definition of q.

Compatibility Consideration

If you use the q variable, you may receive different results than in previous releases when you:

• Create a transfer function

• Modify the num or den properties of an existing transfer function

The resulting transfer function differs from previous releases when both the

• Variable property is set to q

• num and den properties have different lengths

For example, the following code:

H = tf([1,2],[1 3 8],0.1,'Variable','q')

now returns the transfer function

Previously, the code returned the transfer function

The two transfer functions have different numerators.
